My skills
Most of my experience lies in customer service and customer experience. I've spent many years learning how to embrace the human connection and how to tweak my interactions with others so that I can be able to talk to almost anyone I come into with. I currently work as a flight attendant with experience as a supervisor at Starbucks and a cook in a restaurant.

About Me
Hey there! Hope you're doing lovely 🙂 My name is Matt and I am second generation Canadian living in Toronto. I am of Italian descent (you can l by the amount of food I eat haha). I am currently living life as a flight attendant and loving every second of it. If I had the option, I'd never stop travelling. I do it for work and I do it as a hobby. I'm compley in love. Whenever I have free time, I use a lot of it to plan my next trip or to research destinations I'd like to visit. In my earlier years, I performed quite a bit! I was in quite a few musicals throughout high school, and continued in college. I was classically trained for a year in opera, and I continue that as a shower singing, with the odd wedding or funeral here and there! A few years ago I graduated from Culinary school, which was quite an amazing experience. I worked in a restaurant for a little while before deciding to work at Starbucks and focus on achieving my dream of becoming a flight attendant. In 2017 I travelled to Haiti to teach English to adults. It was the most amazing, humbling and life-changing experience I've ever had. Travelling hasn't been the same since. In a nutshell about me, I try to live my life with humility, kindness, and contagious positivity. I live to embrace the human connection through empathy and love. I don't stop smiling and I try to make others smile as well. Life's beautiful and marvellous and people are amazing. I truly believe that there is so much good out there and there are so many generous and kind people. Anyways, thank you for reading this! I hope it gives a little insight on who I am. 🙂
